Why Does Easter last 18 days with CAMC?

Happens across the whole range of holiday period vacation market. 

Happens in most areas of tourism and countries

I know I keep saying this but if the price doesn't suit...

Don't go in peak season. I tend to use CLs more in peak.

I thinks its a particularly British thing Alan. Just flicked through the ACSI books looking for those that withdraw the discounted rates for Easter. In Spain and France its mostly not at all or around a week (did spot one of 10 days though), skip to the UK section and its almost universal but rarely for as much as 18 days.

Example We once arrived at a Spanish site on Good Friday  and only just got in but that's another story, the reception advised us to only initially book in for 2 days as the discounted Rate would be back on  Monday.

Not so in Italy, a number of campsites do increase their prices over holidays. Also what about airlines?

Yes, because particularly in Spain at Easter time the temperatures are not that great and the Spanish like it to be warm before venturing out in their caravans, so little point in hiking the price, you may get a few that venture out for 3 or 4 days over easter weekend to visit relatives but in the main not a big camping holiday for the Spanish , your Good Friday site was probably full of Brits/Germans/Dutch still not returned froom over wintering.

There are options! 

A well liked family owned site near me with about 30 pitches - with first class review scores - has a flat rate all year round including Easter and summer hols of £19 a night for hard standing and electrics. Although they wisely charge extra for those who like to heat their awnings.

No I think we were about the only Brits there. Holy week is a big big thing and it was the only time I have seen a Spanish site full yet.

Well next time you go invest in an ACSI card as I just had a quick flick through the Italian section and didnt see Easter picked out at one.
